----------------------+----------------------------
 Since updating the root6 port some days ago (I think from @6.08) I
 encountered the problem that the font symbol.ttf is not found. This is
 necessary if you use for example greek math letters in a TCanvas. The
 exact error message when opening an existing TCanvas with such symbols is:
 {{{
     Error in <FontCache::SelectSymbolFont>: symbol.ttf file not found
     Error in <TSystem::ExpandFileName>: input: $ROOTSYS/fonts/symbol.ttf,
 output: $ROOTSYS/fonts/symbol.ttf
 }}}

 I figured out that in {{{/opt/local/libexec/root6/etc/system.rootrc}}} the
 following lines are commented out:
 {{{
    #*.*.Root.TTFontPath:        /opt/local/libexec/root6/share/root/fonts
    #Unix.*.Gui.IconPath:
 .:$(HOME)/icons:/opt/local/libexec/root6/share/root/icons:
 }}}
 Commenting it those lines in or adding them ~/.rootrc, solves the issue
 (the second line solves another issues when the ROOT tray icon is not
 found). Now I'm not completely sure if this an issue for the ROOT Team or
 an issue of the MacPort. But since ROOT is not shipped with a file
 system.rootrc I guess it is an issue of the port.
